The 1971 Copa Libertadores de América was a football competition contested between the top clubs of the CONMEBOL federation. Uruguayan side Nacional won the competition defeating Argentine team Estudiantes de la Plata 2–0 in a playoff held in Estadio Nacional in Lima, Peru, after the two-legged series (in La Plata and Montevideo) ended with one win for each side.[1]

It was the first Copa Libertadores won by Nacional, after three finals contested before with no success. Otherwise, Estudiantes lost their first final after three consecutive trophies won.[2][3]
